Justinian was just minding his own business… "Was" being the operative word. You see, it's Family Visitation Day. Really needs a better name for that… Basically, family members of Beacon's students and faculty are allowed to visit the campus. The key here is "faculty members." That's right, including the teachers. Celia and Alexander's family members arrived for the day to talk about and to each other's in-laws. Though, the parents of both teachers asked the question of grandchildren at least once. Peter's younger sister stopped by and asked her brother to tell her stories about his adventures in Beacon. So that's why he does that… Bart's father visited as well. Apparently, Oobleck senior worked in a history museum. Like father, like son… Glynda and Ozpin didn't have family members stop by so they spent the day together. Good for them. Justinian's family certainly wasn't going to visit, what with his parents' untimely end and his brother's criminal record. He was going to enjoy a nice quiet day.

Oh how foolish I've been… Justinian found himself face to face with one Winter Schnee, elder sister of one of his student and the woman he humiliated in the Vytal festival four years ago. "Hello…" His greeting was cut off as Winter's sword was poised to slice his throat. "Nice to see there's no bad blood anymore…"

"Why are you here?"

Justinian was somewhat irritated. "I work here. That a good enough answer for you?"

"Hardly."

Justinian had his devilish smile on. "Still mad I beat you into the dirt four years ago?"

"That was a fluke and you know it!"

"Try me Ice Queen. I'll beat you again."

"Winter?" Behind the Atlas Specialist was her younger sister Weiss. "You two know each other?"

Winter returned her sword to her side. "Don't worry about it Weiss." She turned back to Justinian, "We'll settle this later."

Justinian smiled. "Any time…" As he watched them leave, he just couldn't help himself. "Aw… a cold shoulder from Ice Queen Winter? How original…"

Winter stopped mid stride. First, they met again, which was too soon by the way. Then, he had to remind her about the time she lost. Now… stupid puns. She'd had all she could stand. She turned and glared at him. "Arena. Now."

"Sounds good to me."

They entered Beacon's combat arena and stood on opposite ends of the ring. Winter looked positively infuriated. Justinian was brandishing his devilish smirk once again. Surrounding them was the stands which had a handful of individuals watching the arena. Sitting behind Winter was her sister Weiss. Next to the younger Ice Queen was her team: Ruby, Blake, and Yang. In the center was team JNPR and CFVY. Justinian looked behind him to see who was sitting in his corner.

Naturally, there was no one; but, then again, he didn't expect anyone and was doing this for a different reason. Winter used the opportunity to charge forward and bring her sword down on his neck. However, since his semblance made his skin stronger than steel, it just stopped on contact. When her attack failed, she jumped backward to gain distance.

Justinian kept smiling. "I thought you would have learned four years ago. Your attacks mean nothing to me."

Winter was pissed, but she knew she couldn't just attack him. She remembered that she can't actually hurt him with her sword, but that was the point this time. She created a glyph and attacked using a swarm of auric birds. She knew he can't withstand aura or dust based attacks as well as physical attacks. With this, she had him. What she heard next was more than a little disturbing.

He was laughing. He just stood there and took the attack. "Sorry Winter, but you'll have to do better than that."

"H-how?"

"Simple. Four years of actual huntsman training. Working for Glynda Goodwitch doesn't hurt." He drew his sword, Colossus, and pointed it toward the Ice Queen. "And trust me, she hits harder than you ever could." He raised his sword to the air and swung downward to her head. Winter dodged the attack, but Justinian used this action to shift his sword into a powerful rifle and fired the first bullet in the chamber. The Ice Queen moved away, but the weapon was fired to prove a point. The hole in the wall behind her was the size of a large golf ball. The Colossus was as powerful and as accurate as a sniper rifle.

Winter gave a flick of her wrist and readied her second sword. This time, when she charged him, she aimed for his sword and disarmed him. When she was done, her blades were crossed over his neck while his hands were on either side of her head.

His devilish grin made a return appearance. "I win."

"I don't see how."

"You know your swords can't hurt me. Now, look at my wrists."

She gave a cursory glance and noticed a small device on either hand. "Okay. I see them."

"Those are flamethrowers. Your blades can't damage me, and last I checked you're not fire proof. To put it in perspective, you can't win. I can. Therefore, you lose."

She knew he was right, but she wouldn't accept it. She would beat him! She had to! For her honor and her name! Her position! A Schnee will not lose to this… degenerate! She will beat him! She decided to swing her swords to slash his throat.

It didn't work. Her swords bounced off and his hands took grab off her head on either side. "I said… you lose."

She knew she couldn't dodge him. However, she was smiling. She created a glyph at her feet. The swarm surrounded them and started to attack her opponent. With the drop in temperature the swarm caused, his fire wouldn't burn. She had him!

She soon found herself looking up at the ceiling. "W-what happened?"

"I beat you. Again." Justinian was standing above her.

"How?"

He held up his arms and showed the devices on his wrists. There was reddish-gold dust in a chamber on either device. "Concussion dust. Released from either side, it knocked you unconscious for about a minute." He held out his hand toward her.

She brushed it aside and stood on her own. "Don't think this is over."

"If you can hold a grudge for four years, you're not about to stop now." He turned to walk away. "It's too bad, though. When we first met, I thought you were beautiful. Now your face is twisted by anger." With that, he left.
